North Yorkshire

Sell your comics
in Yarm.

Free valuations, honest prices and free collection. I am a working collector based on Teesside, not a chain, and I will tell you what your comics are actually worth even when the answer is not much.

The cobbled high street and the viaduct

Yarm is one of the most attractive towns in the area, with its wide cobbled high street and the viaduct running over it. It is also, frankly, an area where larger and better kept collections turn up, often bought properly rather than casually and stored in decent conditions.

Condition is where most of the money is in this hobby, so a collection that has spent forty years in a dry room rather than a damp garage is worth having valued properly rather than guessed at.

How it works in Yarm

Yarm is a short drive, so I can come to you at a time that suits.

  1. Send photos. Covers and spines are enough to start. If it is a full collection, a photo of each box and a few close-ups of anything you think might matter.
  2. I go through them properly. You get an itemised view rather than one number for everything, so you can see which comics carry the value and which do not.
  3. You decide. No pressure, no obligation, and no hard feelings if you would rather sell elsewhere or keep them.
  4. I collect and pay. Free collection, and payment on the day rather than when something eventually sells.

What I am looking for in Yarm

Marvel and DC from the 1960s through to the 1990s, key first appearances, complete runs, independent titles and horror. I will also take the ordinary boxes alongside the good stuff, because leaving somebody with four boxes of comics nobody wants is not much of a service.

Not sure whether yours are the ones that matter? The comic values section goes through the most commonly asked about issues, honestly.

Why sell to me rather than a general dealer

Most house clearance firms and general second hand dealers price comics by the box, because they have no way to tell a valuable issue from a common one. That is fine for them and expensive for you. I read these, I sell them, and I know the difference between a first printing and a reprint, and between a newsstand copy and a direct edition.
